Abstract
This is the first physician survey examining the care of patients and impact of AKI on current in-hospital and ambulatory nephrology practices. In our sample, AKI was the most common reason for in-hospital nephrology consultation. Furthermore, our findings point to significant areas in which improvement is needed, including inadequate quantification of dialysis delivered dose. Finally, our survey highlights that AKI is a major public health issue.
